chinese story- 13

　　“We all know that the land is doomed,” replied Zhang Ti. “But if we make no defense,
and no one dies for his country, shall we not be shamed？”
　　Zhuge Xing left, weeping； and Zhang Ti went with Shen Zong to the army. The invaders
soon arrived, and the Jin General Zhou Zhi was the first to break into the camp. Zhang Ti
resisted stubbornly, but was soon slain in a melee, and Shen Zong was killed by Zhou Zhi.
The army of Wu was defeated and scattered.
　　[hip, hip, hip] Jin's army banners waved on Bashan Mountains And trusty Zhang Ti in
Jiangling fighting died；He accepted not that the kingly grace was spent, He rather chose to
die than shame his side. [yip, yip, yip]
　　the armies of Jin conquered at Niuzhu and penetrated deeply into the country of Wu. From
his camp Wang Jun sent a report of his victory to Luoyang, and Sima Yan was pleased.
　　But Jia Chong again opposed further fighting, saying, “The armies have been long
absent, and the soldiers will suffer from the unhealthiness of the southern country. It
would be well to call them home.”
　　Zhang Hua spoke against this course, saying, “the Jin army has reached the very home
and center of the enemy. Soon Wu courage will fail, and the Ruler of Wu himself will be our
prisoner. To recall the army now would be to waste the efforts already made.”
　　the Ruler of Jin inclined to neither side.
